Thrift Share Monday

This will be my first link up with Apron Thrift Girl for Thrift Share Monday. I went to the thrift store THREE times last week, so I have some good stuff to share.

Those of you who thrift in northwest Arkansas are familiar with Potter's House Thrift Store. It's big, it's packed, and the best part is their rotating pricing system. By lowering the price of an item each week after the first two, they really move the merchandise along. And if you see something you like, but don't like the price, you can take your chances on getting it at a later date for less. Almost any item left after four weeks is fifty cents.

I'm not going to show everything I got, because it's late, I'm tired, and I haven't photographed all of it. Here is the highlight, though.

Franciscan Tulip Time

A beautiful set of Franciscan serving pieces in the Tulip Time pattern. These are so beautiful. The teapot and sugar bowl have repairs, but the other pieces are in excellent condition. I love these colors, but I am trying to limit the things I keep to a few patterns that I really love, and pottery like this is not high on the list (although this has a marvelous buttery soft surface). This will either be sold to buy what I want, or traded locally.

About Me

I’m wife to a wonderful elected official who shall remain nameless, until I forget and name him, stay at home/homeschooling mom to three great kids, Rachel 14, Joshua 12, and Rebekah (Bekah), 8. I’m a political junky, mid century modern fan, and thrift store expert. I strive to live a life that glorifies God, but I fail on a daily basis, always grateful for grace. I blog about life, kids, homeschool, politics, and great finds. Thanks for joining me.
